Heat Wave

It's 105 degrees today, hot humid stifiling degrees! It's supposed to cool down for the next ten days...to the 90s!
The grass is crispy, all the birds are panting, and I'm pulling hoses all day to keep the plants watered. I've already lost a few bushes and plants that just weren't strong enough to stand the heat.

An Oriole sitting in the water for awhile before
his bath...just cooling down

We need rain...soon.
